Slimy C.J. (a sturdy portrayal by Nathan Day) and his wimpy reluctant partner Stan (solid Stacey T. Gillespie) are a couple of bumbling wannabe crooks who try to steal twenty pounds of weed from fearsome local pot farmer Bud (robustly played with lip-smacking wicked relish by Kevin Taylor). However, things go awry after Bud catches the inept pair in the act and forces the duo to do his evil bidding by abducting a trio of women over the course of three days.Writer/director Jacob Ennis cooks up a pleasing trashy good time complete with salty dialogue, a constant brisk pace, a sweet smidgen of tasty gratuitous female nudity, a blithely scuzzy atmosphere, colorful low-life redneck characters, a tight 77 minute running time, a pungent evocation of the downhome Kentucky backwoods environment, and startling moments of nasty violence and raw brutality. Scream queen Debbie Rochon acquits herself well in a nice supporting role as distraught mother Miss Brooks. Toshiyuki Hiraoka's twangy score hits the flavorsome spot. Fans of pure fetid celluloid filth should dig this one.

Two stoner's happen across some psychotic hillbilly nicknamed Bud's stash and in order to escape with their lives they agree to kidnap three woman and take them to said hillbilly. The movie starts with them onto the second, Sarah, a girl who's car broke down on the way to going to her parent's house for a birthday party, while the first victim is still running through the woods of rural Kentucky, completely naked being chased by the maniac. Sarah's dad, Jack who's a retired detective teams up with the local sheriff to find his gore. Genre mainstay Debbie Rochon is also on-hand for a brief turn as the drunken mother of the first abducted girl.I really wanted to give this movie the benefit of the doubt because I know full well that making a low-budget feature length film is hard under any circumstance, and I was going along with it...up to a point. That point being the introduction of 'Bud', he was the most annoying inefficient joke of a heavy that I've witnessed in quite some time. His constant laugh which was supposed to make him sound crazy (I supposed) only came across as heavily grating on my nerves. The rest of the cast fairs fine enough. It's just Bud that ruined the picture for me. No strike that, Bud AND an insanely stupid ending tag set '10 months later' (which I won't spoil, but it's already spoiled for anyone who looks at the DVD extras) Eye Candy: Elysee and Tiffany Taylor bare all (the Making of in the extras also features nudity, as do the some of the trailers) My Grade: D DVD Extras: Commentary by Producer/Director/Writer Jacob Ennis; second commentary by executive producers Billy & Denise Blackwell; a 15 & a half minute Making of the film; blooper & outtakes reel; an interview with Debbie Rochon; video of the special effects guys making 'bud Jr'; music video ('still I bleed' by POWND; and trailers for this film as well as "American Punks", "A Feast of Flesh", "Blood and Sex Nightmare", "Cannibal Campout", "Woodchipper Massacre", "Ghoul School", "Video Vilonce 1 and 2", "Beauty Queen Butcher", "Splatter Beach", "Zombie Bloodbath trilogy", & "Killing Spree"

When compared to modern studio horror offerings, which often miss the point of the films they were inspired by, Jacob Ennis has encapsulated the exploitation films that inspires him perfectly. Much like 1972's "Last House on the Left" or Al Adamson's "I Spit on Your Corpse" Ennis creates an all too real universe of white trash, brutal violence, and backwoods sensibilities. Of course this is often missed by reviewers who would say, "How dare you compare this to 'Last House'?", the same reviewers who idolize "Last House" not because they understand it but because they believe that by worshiping this film they are to be counted among "real" horror fans. It is obvious when watching this film that Ennis understands what made "Last House" work. Ennis will only grow as a filmmaker. For those who understand "Stash" and why it has been embraced by G4, Fangoria, and independent horror fans, we will no doubt see great things from Ennis in the future. If you're expecting the same PG-13, sanitized, studio crap that's being released en masse by Hollywood or the supposedly "shocking" horror of Eli Roth films, then you're likely to be disappointed by Ennis' outstanding throwback to an age when exploitation was not a trend to be embraced by "wanna be" horror fans but by those who "got it" and those who understand that low budget cinema is far more true an art form than what a studio film can provide.

Let me first off by saying this was good idea for a horror flick, but this was just a difficult movie to watch, and to take seriously as an independent film. The acting was just poor and it looked like it was made by a group of friends who think they can act, with a cheap digital camera, and edited with iMovie. The dialogue seemed very forced, and that I can believe that even the actors were reading lines than acting their roles. Even all the physical contact just looked fake. And the fact that they show every detail just got annoying, if someone lost service, I get that by seeing a reaction and a line, I don't need to see the phone that shows it. I know that we all start somewhere, and I hope that these people keep trying, I just hope that they get better with time. If this was their first attempt I say they gave it a good shot.
